Benefits of technology

The present patent provides a rake edge gutter that allows for the use of a hooked blade or other cutting device in an abutment area or groove of the rake edge gutter, even when hidden under field shingles extending onto the cutting guide. The cutting guide also helps to secure the field shingle against wind uplift while simultaneously hiding the cut edge of the shingle. Additionally, the gutter includes a shingle-securing section that can be folded over onto the shingle and pre-weakened to allow for easier bending over the shingle.

Problems solved by technology

The rapid increase in the use of “architectural” shingles has had an unforeseen consequence.
For this reason, the roof mechanic, if presented with the option, will cut the field shingle where the underlay area runs through the entire field shingle with the unforeseen consequence of additional water moving towards the rake edge.

Embodiment Construction

[0068]Embodiments of the present disclosure comprise a rake edge gutter that eliminates products and steps, including the use of a guide to mark shingles and subsequently cut them to length, currently required at a rake edge when applying an asphalt shingle system to a roof, while solving various issues with prior art products and techniques, those issues including dealing with moisture coming off the gable end of structures, protecting shingles from wind uplift, and hiding shingle edges, which may be irregular, without preventing shingle expansion and contraction, which could result in long-term damage to the shingle.

[0069]In addition, embodiments provide a cutting guide, which, during high wind events, provides for additional height above the roof plane and directs water back into the rake gutter. This feature helps ensure that areas around windows and doors remains leak free while generally improving the long term performance of gable end finishes, such as, paints, trims and sidi...

Abstract

A combination drip edge, rake flashing, gutter with nail flange that is useful for water harvesting and securing of shingles in adverse weather conditions.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 514,406, filed Jun. 2, 2017. This application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a roofing drip edge, and more particularly, to a rake drip edge, which acts like a rake edge gutter and provides for a shingle cutting guide and a shingle locking mechanism.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The vast majority of sloped roofing systems installed in North America are asphalt shingle systems. Such installations generally require the installation of drip edges, which help to seal the building against water intrusion, adjacent edges of the building envelope. After installing one of these drip edges at the rake and eave, a starter shingle is typically installed on top of a drip edge. Then field shingles are installed onto the starter shingles using fasteners, with the possible combination of plastic roof cemen...
